Yes, basically every corporate social media site needs more moderators. A single person can barely moderate 200K users (cohost), so a platform with 900 million should probably have a trust and safety team larger than 30 or 60 (Durov didn’t confirm it).

Cookie jar… I will use that term from now on

Wow, who could have guessed

You have a point. It really depends on how much the Admins enforce this rule.

I’m saying that Telegram’s moderators are not moderating stuff they should be moderating and that they have admitted they should be moderating. I know that it’s not their fault, it’s the small size of the team compared to almost a billion monthly active users, but still.

Wow, a normal person on the internet. Thank you for existing.

Scientific consensus is still a thing. You can find out what a majority of well accepted studies say, whether something is controversial or not. Sure, some all new discovery in nuclear physics might not have consensus yet but whether you can feed cats a plant only diet should. If it doesn’t thats probably because everyone assumed that was a dumb thing to research that wouldn’t provide any unexpected results.

I, and I’m sure many others, will not take someone who thinks COVID is “controversial” with no “clear harmful position” seriously.

I’m not sure what your opinions on COVID are but if you’re anti-science on this one then I disagree with you.

An arbitration committee you say? This is giving me Wikipedia vibes.

Telegrams moderation leaves a lot to be desired. I’m not saying they should look into or give governments people’s private conversations but I am saying that certain public features of telegram that do allow you to report illegal materials have been used to spread them.

If your name and depictions of you still remain in existence then the concept of you does as well. As long as the concept of you remains that means you can still influence the world with said influence having your “signature”, so to say.

Most people like to have the ability to influence the world.

Alleged and mostly bullshit from the Telegram founder it seems.

Wasn’t there some controversy about Signal’s creation being supported by the US government to provide private communications for anti-us-enemy organisation or something? I’m sure I remember it correctly…

I sure don’t, let the mods see it for their communities but not for everyone

Some believe that competition is finally ramping up.

We have color and okayish refresh rates now!

Not the username I normally use, but I like it

cough cough I… I was there cough during the beans

Use an rss feed reader, it prevents duplicates, but it might be annoying to use if you interact with post a lot

I use an rss reader and open anything I want to interact with in the browser. Lemmy allows you to get your subscribed communities feed as an rss feed! None of the hacky workarounds you have to use on Reddit

Linux people generally use adblockers so I somewhat doubt all these analytics websites that don’t have a methodology that wouldn’t be blocked by adblockers listed
